W. MCPHERSON, or CLEVELAND, omo` ICE-CREAM- DIEPER Application filedDecember 19,1929,` SerilNo. 415,315.

The invention relates to dippers for servingv ice cream and has for itsprincipal object the provision of means by which ice cream is moldedinto a fiat triangular shape to serve on apiece of pie, and means areprovided by v which the ice cream is molded and the molded ice creamdischarged from the mold onto the slice oi' pie.

A further object of the invention is the provision of an ice creamdipper including a hollow member having spaced fiat sides and the openendof the member inclined at an angle to the adjacent side of themember,

and providing a slidable plunger within the member adapted for manualoperation, said plunger having its outer face inclined at an angleopposite to the angle of the outer end of the hollow member to form atriangular mold within the hollow member in which the ice cream ismoldedand discharged by operation-of the plunger.

The invention will be described in detail y hereinafter and will beJfound illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure l is aside view in elevation of the improved ice cream dipper;

, Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional View on a plane indicated by theline 2-2 of Figure l;

Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 vshowing the removable plateremoved disclosing the interior of the hollow member, and

Figure 4 1s a transverse sectional View on a plane indicated by the line4-4 of Fig-y ure l.

In the drawings similar reference characters are used to designatecorresponding parts throughout the several views.

VThe improved ice cream dipper comprises a hollow member 1 consisting ofspaced platesY and having an opening 9 therein through which is extendeda rod 10 secured to a plungerA l1 slidably mounted within thehollowmember l. 12 indicates an eXpansible coil spring enclosing the rodlO within the tubular handle -8 andterminally engaging the handle andthe rod '10 and serving to normally hold theplungerll within thehollow-member l as shown in Figure 3. The rod 10 fis providedwithatransverse opening 18 toreceive the end of the spring 12 to secureitthereto; The'side of the hollow member 1 opposite .to the flange 4 isopen and the edges of thelplates'2 and 3 areinclined at an angle totheadjacent sides of the hollow member as shown at 14, while the outer edgeof the plunger 1l is inclined as shown at`15 at an angle opposite to theinclination of the outer edges of thesides 2 and 3 as shown at 14, thusproviding a triangular mold 16 in the hollow member l to receive andmold ice cream or other product to be discharged from the hollow memberl by operation of the plunger l1. The molded ice cream or other productwill be in the shape of a flat triangular block, and as heretoforestated the device is particularly adapted to molding ice cream forgarnishing slices of pie.

The removable plate 3 provides means by which the device may bedismembered for cleaning the interior of the hollow member l and theplunger 11.

What is claimed is 1. An ice cream dipper, comprising a hollow memberhaving its open end inclined, a tubular handlesecured to said member andcommunicating with the hollow space therein, a plunger slidably mountedin said hollow member, a rod secured to said plunger and extendingthrough said tubular handle, the outer edge oit' the plunger beinginclined oppositely to the inclination of the open end of the hollowmember and providing a mold for ice cream, the molded ice cream beingdischarged by actuating the plunger outwardly of said member.

2. An ice cream dipper, comprising a hollow member having its spacenarrow in one dimension and relatively wider transversely of the member,a tubular handle on said member and communicating wit-hfsaid space, theedge of said member opposite to said handle or CLEVELAND,oHIo,'AssIeNoR',Orione-HALF To RoDEnIcx being inclined from one narrowWall to the other, a plunger slidably mounted and snugly tting in saidmember, a rod secured to said plunger and extending through said tubular5 handle, and the edge of said plunger opposite tol said 'rodinclinedinwardly of the hollow member atl'dj fpposit to thlrliition of the edgeof the member, the, space formed Within vthey member by said o po-Y,

containing ice cream for dislrarg'lyftihe action of the plunger. K

3. An ice cream dipper, comprisig''llf loW member consisting oftwo-spaced plates 15 one of said plates having 'langeson some o itsedges spa'cing the'f plate@l meansseeurirg' the other plate totheflanges, a tubularhaneelle'zr extending from said flanged plate; theAbore of ther handle Ycommunicating 'with the" 2D interior of the memberthrough a-'lang -ol the plate, the side Aof said member? opposite'to's'aid handle being open? and the'pl'atefedge inclined, avpl'ungerslidably mountedfi said member; afrod; secured to the plunger andk 25sli'daloly J mounted' the" tubularV handele,y spring: means in said' ftubular handl'ejf and er1--Ll gaging" said rodfto normally Withdraw the"plunger Within themem'ber,1 andthe outer edge` ofthe plunger1`inolined'at'ani'angle op? pesite to `the inclination of "the"edgesryo-"tle" plates aforesaid; and providing aftriafngfular space Withintheimember to' receive andf .mold a'ablbclc of icecream. .l
